the obama administration just announced detroit is getting $300 million in aid. the money will help alleviate some of the problems that are crushing that city. tens of thousands of blighted or abandoned buildings, almost half the street lights don't work. if you call police, the average response time is almost an hour. and two thirds of the city's parks are closed. half the money will be used to clear some of the city's 78,000 -- that's right, 78,000 abandoned buildings. another big chunk will go toward making the city's buses safer and help pay for new transit systems. detroit will also get 150 firefighters, more police patrols, the white house emphasizes this is not a bailout. in reality, it's a drop in the bucket compared to detroit's needs. the city is $18 billion with a "b" dollars in the hole, according to its july bankruptcy filing. >> okay, time to get you talking about what everybody is talking about on social media when it comes to dealing with critical issues in the nation. does the president need to toughen up or get scary? samuel l. jackson seems to
